Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a delegation from Kindah, and they did not regard me as better than them. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We claim that you are from us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No. We are Banu al-Nadr bin Kinanah; we do not trace our lineage through our mother, nor do we disown our father." Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Prophet of Allah! I will not hear anyone separate Quraysh from Kinanah except that I will flog him.

Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the delegation of Kindah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Do you have any children?" He said: No, except for a child who was born to me when I set out to come to you, and I wish that in his place the people had food to eat their fill. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not say that, for in them (children) there is coolness of the eyes, and reward when they pass away. And if you have said that, (it is also true that) they are a cause of cowardice, grief and miserliness."
